Last post (Quick Eating Tips #1) we advised bringing along some snacks to help control appetite and make sure you maintain good eating habits. Some of you were interested in snack ideas so we will start providing regular ideas that are fun, easy to prepare, low in calories, and good for you.

Freeze your treat!

Frozen food makes a great snack because it stays fresh, maintains its flavour, and takes longer to eat.

Make yourself a snack before leaving home if you know you'll be out for more than 2-3 hours.

Why?
1) You can portion control and know you're going to eat well.
2) You'll know you have something to snack on = peace of mind ["can't wait to have my snack!"]
3) You'll save some $$$ - something we all need right now!
4) You won't be overly hungry later in the day = won't have the urge to over-eat at your next meal.
